"Is there anyone who chooses stones like you? You can tell if he has jade just by putting your hand on it?”Other people chose stones based on the patterns and distribution of python marks on the stones. However, Ye Fan placed his hand on the stone, which made Ouyang Feifei feel very strange.
"I have my own unique method of identifying stones, okay?”Ye Fan rolled his eyes at Ouyang Feifei. He also felt that it was a little strange for him to put his hand on the stone to sense the spiritual energy.
Ouyang Feifei smirked."Stop bragging. You've only touched more than ten stones, and I didn't see you say that there was jade in that stone. You're just pretending to be an elephant with a banana in your nose.”
"As I said earlier, I'm a newbie in stone gambling and don't have much experience.”Ye Fan opened his palms helplessly. He felt wronged when Ouyang Feifei said that he was pretending to be an elephant. He had said from the beginning that he did not know how to gamble on stones. How could he say that he was pretending?
While talking to Ouyang Feifei, Ye Fan did not stay idle. He quickly locked onto his target and walked forward to sense it. However, this time, he did not put his hand on the stone. Instead, he pretended to look and touch it like the others.
His palm brushed against the stone. This time, Ye Fan's sensing lasted for nearly a minute, but he still found nothing."It seems like there's no hope of earning money from stone gambling.”Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and put down the method of gambling stones with the Wisdom Eye in his heart.
"Eh?" Ye Fan originally wanted to leave this place, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a wave of spiritual qi enter his eyes. Although it was very faint, he could indeed sense that spiritual qi.
"What happened? "Just now, this spiritual qi entered my eyes. This..." Ye Fan muttered to himself in confusion, and his brows were unconsciously tightly knitted together.
Ouyang Feifei was a little confused when she saw that Ye Fan was about to leave but suddenly stayed where he was. She didn't know what was wrong with Ye Fan, but she didn't ask much this time. Anyway, it was not a bad idea to kill time like this.
The cultivation of the " Wisdom Eye " was divided into five levels. The first level was to appreciate the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers. The second level was to enter the world and absorb the spiritual energy of ancient objects. The third level was to identify the authenticity of ancient objects. Ye Fan had already cultivated to the third level. As for the fourth and fifth levels, Ye Fan had yet to touch the threshold.
"Now that I've cultivated to the third level of the Wisdom Eye, do I need to use my eyes to sense spiritual energy?”Ye Fan seemed to have found the key to the matter. He immediately walked excitedly in front of a stone with clear python patterns. His eyes gathered spirit, and threads of spiritual qi flowed into his eyes as he began to sense.
Ye Fan chose this stone this time. The python path was very clear. The stone was a good-looking stone. However, on the left side of the stone, the python path broke, which reduced the value of this stone by a lot. The probability of jade being produced from the python path breaking was also much smaller. Moreover, even if jade was produced, no one could guarantee the quality of the jade, so no one cared about this stone that looked quite good.
Gathering spiritual energy in his eyes and using the spirit to guide the spirit was Ye Fan's method of sensing spiritual energy. He first gathered spiritual energy in his eyes and used the spiritual energy in his eyes to guide the spiritual energy out of the stone. If he felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the stone, then he could confirm that there was jade in the stone.
As time passed, Ye Fan stood in front of this stone and sensed it for more than a minute. His eyes were a little dry. Just as he was about to give up, a stream of Spiritual Energy suddenly entered his eyes. However, the Spiritual Energy that entered his eyes did not come from this stone. Instead, it came from an inconspicuous stone about two or three meters to Ye Fan's left.
"Haha." Ye Fan smiled excitedly and walked in front of the stone. He felt the fine spiritual qi enter his eyes and thought to himself,"It seems that the [Wisdom Eye] can not only sense the spiritual energy of antiques, but also the spiritual energy of the jade in the stone. I wonder what quality the jade cut from this stone will be.”
"Do you believe that there is jade in this stone?”Ye Fan pointed at the stone and said,""Didn't you want to follow me to pick up the leftovers? Are you buying this jade?”
Although Ye Fan could feel the presence of spiritual energy, it was very faint. He was not sure what quality of jade he could cut out, so he wanted to persuade Ouyang Feifei to buy the stone. However, Ouyang Feifei was not stupid. She rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and said,"You were staring at that stone for a long time just now, but you suddenly came here and said that there was jade in this stone. Who are you lying to?”
Ye Fan touched the stone in front of him and said,"If you don't want to buy it, then I'll buy it. It's not expensive anyway." Ye Fan looked at the price of this stone and called the boss to buy it.
"You bought this stone for 70,000 yuan.”Ouyang Feifei was worried that Ye Fan would lose money if he really wanted to buy the stone.
Ye Fan smiled slightly and said confidently,"Don't worry, this stone will definitely be cut into jade, but I can't guarantee the quality of the jade.”
Hearing Ye Fan's confident words, the shop owner also smiled and said,"This stone used to be priced at more than 200,000 yuan. However, the python path on this stone is intermittent and there are some signs of ringworm on the inside and outside of the stone, so the price of this stone has fallen again and again, falling to one-third of the original price.”
"Looks like I'm going to pick up another big mistake this time.”Ye Fan patted the dust off his hands and said,"Boss, you should be able to cut it here. You can cut it for me while you're at it.”
"No problem, but cutting the stone costs 300 yuan.”The boss was already in his fifties, and his hair was already quite white. Although he was a little old, his method of making money was not old. He asked for 300 yuan to cut the stone, which was much more expensive than outside. Although the price was higher, those who could come here to gamble on stones did not lack that 300 yuan. Most people just wanted to make it convenient to cut the stone here.
After negotiating the price, the boss called the waiter to move the stone to the machine at the door and let the stone cutter start working. The stone-cutting master was obviously an experienced worker. He had at least thirty years of stone-cutting experience. Whether it was the movements of the stone-cutting process or the depth of the stone-cutting process, he was able to grasp it perfectly.
There was no shortage of people in this world who had washed up and watched the show. When they saw that the stone was about to be cut, a group of people gathered around to watch the show. The stone that Ye Fan had bought was not unfamiliar to the people who came here often. If it was not for the fact that the python path of this stone was intermittent and could not be connected, it would not have been left unsold until now.
"Old Wei, you've had this stone in your hand for a year.”
"Old Wei, do you think this stone can be cut out? Do you dare to bet with me on the periphery?" The boss's surname was Wei Changquan. Those who were more familiar with him saw that the stone he had been holding for a year had been sold, and they all came forward to greet him. As for the gambling periphery, it meant that they were betting on whether this piece of jade could be produced.
Wei Changquan laughed and dug his ears."This piece of jade has been appraised by many people. The probability of jade being produced is more than 80%. If it weren't for the fact that we can't guarantee the quality of the jade, this stone would have been sold long ago.”
The stone-cutting master moved very quickly. While everyone was talking, he had already opened the window."It's green. It's a high-grade emerald green.”A surprised voice sounded from the crowd. As this voice sounded, everyone's attention was focused on the stone that Ye Fan had just bought.
"Young man, do you still want to continue cutting this piece of jade?”The stone-cutting master wiped the sweat off his face and asked.
Stone gambling was not a game where the price would rise just because one saw green. As the saying went, one cut would make you poor, one cut would make you rich, and one cut would make you wear hemp clothes. No one knew what would happen after one cut. Veterans who had been in the stone gambling industry for many years knew that jade in a stone was divided into many layers. Perhaps the first cut would allow the jade to be sold at a good price, but after the second cut, the second layer of jade might deteriorate, causing the price of the jade to be greatly reduced, or even the price of the bet to fall.
"Young man, if you don't cut it, I'll pay 100,000 yuan for this piece of jade.”The bidder was a middle-aged man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a refined appearance.
Ye Fan glanced at him and smiled politely."This is my first time gambling on stones and I've already seen green. I still want to cut it open and take a look. I hope I can get off to a good start.”After saying that, Ye Fan asked the master to continue cutting.
The stone-cutting master agreed and continued to cut the stone. Soon, Ye Fan's stone was cut open. It was a high-quality jade. This time, Ye Fan's bet had gone up.
"Young man, your luck is really good. This stone has been in my hands for almost a year, but no one has ever asked for it.”Looking at the cut jade, Wei Changquan sighed,""Do you plan to take this jade away or sell it? If you sell it, I can take it for 1.5 million.”
"Sigh, Old Wei, you're not being honest. Last time, you fought with me for it, but this time, you can't fight with me.”
"I'll pay 1.75 million for this jade.”
Before Ye Fan could say that he wanted to sell it, the surrounding people had already started to fight for it. The price also kept rising until it finally settled at 1.85 million. Hearing the final price, Ye Fan smiled apologetically to the person who bid and said,"I'm really sorry. I want to keep this jade for myself and have no intention of buying it.”
This was Ye Fan's first time gambling on stones. Although the jade cut out was more than twenty times the money he spent on gambling stones, Ye Fan did not want to buy it. The moment the jade was cut out, an idea suddenly appeared in Ye Fan's mind. He wanted to find someone to help him process this jade into jewelry and give it to Ruby in the future.
Ever since he was young, Ye Fan had never given Ruby Cromwell a decent gift. This piece of jade was the result of Ye Fan's first stone gambling. If he used this piece of jade to make jewelry, it would have a special meaning. Ruby Cromwell would definitely like it.
